FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original was released in 1967. This copy is the 1979 UK picture disc reissue with catalogue number PHO 7027, with the cover artwork printed directly on the record.

How does a picture disc sound?
On a picture disc the image sits under a clear layer. They are mainly collector's items; sonically they often have a little more surface noise than a regular black pressing.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
Record: NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. Sleeve: VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or the overall impression. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Beatles records?
Yes, for example Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (DE reissue 1980), The Beatles (White Album) and Abbey Road. More titles are in our Psychedelic Rock collection.
